Abstract
On February 4, 2008 Fred Rowland interviewed Laura Levitt about her book American Jewish Loss After the Holocaust, published by New York University Press. Her book deals with the normal everyday losses that American Jews experience and tries to situate these in the larger context of American Jewish community life and the “grand narrative” of the Holocaust which tends to overshadow so much. During the course of American Jewish Loss After the Holocaust Levitt analyzes and meditates on selected poems, photographs, and films, as well as tells personal family stories. The interview gives a nice sense of Levitt’s work and her interests. It runs about twenty-one minutes.
